Can someone help me with the terms used on the forum. I still have no post found.
Odin is a flash program where different files to be loaded. I have now flashed several times but I always do something what is told me. I would like to understand what I do. Can anyone explain?
What is the PIT file and what should I use?
Which version should I use of ODIN?
What do these files:
PDA
PHONE
CSC
Normally you have a device whit one kind of firmware. Why so many?
Thank you for your help

What is the PIT file and what should I use? NEVER UNLESS INSTRUCTED TO DO SO . PIT is partition information table .
Which version should I use of ODIN?
Latest but i still use an old one .
What do these files:
PDA Phones firmware Kernel and OS and apps.
PHONE modem
CSC country specific settings networks languages etc .
A full firmware including modem and CSC is usually flashed via PDA .
Normally you have a device whit one kind of firmware. Why so many?
Flash modem only flash CSC only are the extra uses and some full firmwares are actually in the three parts so you would load all three .

.pit file
.PIT file is used for full flashing method, this is only advisable and useful for reverting back to original firmware when previously installed unofficial ROM or to fix softbricked devices like unable to boot normally.

Hi,
i download the last version from SamsungFirmware (P1000XXJK5 ##), odi 1.31 and the pti. in the pdf from samsungfirmware is standing first part is to flash the pti with repartition and in the secound part, there is to select PDA, PHONE and CSC. But in the firmware is only one tar file for the PDA.
What firmware is a complete one with the correct CSC and PHONE files?
i think the problem was the repartiton, on the youtube video, there will be done without repartition and only flash the PDA part.
kind regards
Obviously you only flashed a partial ROM (PDA component only), but by repartioning you wiped out your existing CSC and MODEM components.
As I understand, you can only flash a partial ROM over an existing one with the same PIT. However, since you have effectively reformatted, you now need to flash a full ROM again, and then flash your partial ROM over the top.
An example of a complete ROM would be JJ4 as it includes MODEM, PDA, and CSC components.
I suggest that you start again with this ROM, or another that contains all 3 components and uses the correct PIT for your "final" ROM. You should then be able to flash you intend ROM over the top of it (PDA only, no repartitioning).
Regards,
Dave
Thanks Foxmeister,
i have downloaded the most roms and JJ4 is allready in the process. the big problem is, that samsungfirmware.com not write, what rom is full and what's only a PDA Partition Rom.
edit: now it works, i have make the full flash with the MODEM and CSC Files from JJ4 and the new PDA directly, this works too, without problems and after searching i could switch the language too, the JK5 has any kind of cyrilic as default.
kind regards

i am asking this question bcoz i have flashed the official froyo for asia dxjpa
and the flashing way via odin was different cozz pit file 513 is used for flashing it.
so i wanted to know the right flashing way for ddjp6 froyo .. via odin
i downloaded the firmware ddjp6.. and it contains only one .tar file
so i just wanted to know the perfect flashing method
please dont advise me to do it through kies...
thanx
You can flash DDJP6 via odin the same way you flashed DXJPA without using any .pit file and it will work. As I have also flashed the other asian versions without using any .pit file (no .pit file recommended for firmwares with only one file on sam firmwares).
So How does the pit file affect anything ? I flashed DDJP6 with the .803 pit file. I take it that shouldn't be an issue ? Also, is the boot Galaxy "S" animation from the pit file ? I don't like the one I got from the asian froyo with the disjoint s... Does the Indian froyo have that too, or the one from eclair ?

Not sure about what exactly .pit file does but had a problem installing DXJPA earlier with .803pit (failed to flash) then tried with .513 and worked well.
haven't noticed the boot animation.
Did u move from 2.1 or unofficial 2.2?
i have a question..
if there is one tar file, should i put the file in just pda or PDA,PHONE AND CSc and then flash?
PDA for single tar file

Check my signature if you want PDA MODEM & CSC seperately for DDJP6.
You can also try to use XXJPY PDA, JP6 MOEDEM & CSC.

I clarification after flashing with Odin will all the setting & data reset to factory.
Or will all the personal data, Games, applications will remain.
One more thing if the Re-Partation in Unchecked (Not selected). Will the Odin keep my data as it is on the phone or it will reset to factory settings.

Hi,
i am trying to fix software on my note3 but i have problems finding the right files.
There is Bootloader, PDA, CSC and Baseband but i don't know how to upgrade it to the correct versions.
For example i found Version OK9 here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/general/direct-download-bootloaders-modems-t3258803
But there is no file to update PDA, CSC and Baseband?
I installed the KERNEL file and it changed the Kernel. Did not try RECOVERY yet because i think it could overwrite the Custom Recovery TWRP that is installed now.
In older post i also found some "CP" files for OJ6 and OK6 and they installed new version for PDA but i can not find them for OK9?
Can anybody please explain the different files and how to find the right versions?
I downloaded two files to update bootloader and PDA to OK6 but i can only update the Bootloader but PDA Version does not change.
CP_N9005_OK6.tar.md5
BL_N9005_OK6.tar.md5
The first file is supposed to update the PDA or not?
CP is modem/baseband and it does not update PDA. AP is PDA. You can find complete firmwares from http://www.sammobile.com/. These packages contains all parts together and you can find installation instructions for example from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DdDgaqsYrRs.

Ah i see, thx for your help!
Hm so maybe it could be a good idea to install a untouched Stock Rom first and then go to modified image?
I have now installed N9005XXUGBOK6_N9005DBTGBOI1_DBT Stock Image with Odin.
When i want to go back to this image: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/development/rom-lp-tw-rom-t3027148 is it enought to just install it or do i need to wipe anything before?
I don't want all the samsung adware...
Oh it even killed the philz touch recovery...

Hey, just an opinion. Search around G928G modem.tar and flash it by CP tab of odin before flashing the firmware. Than try flasing firmware. If fails again, remove modem.bin file from firmware(dont know how to). Otherwise extract the whole files from firmware, delete modem.bin and make the rest files as firmware with proper tool(TAR maker or else). Good luck.

Well done, glad to know.
Hello, I purchase a SM-G935F from a pawnshop today that was flashed with a custom ROM however it does not boot. The phone goes into download mode just fine and want to flash stock firmware but cannot find the USA version. The box came the phone and appears to be a USA version, the UPC code on the box is 8806088275123 and I check the IMEI on a website service and it came back with this model number SM-G935FZKLTTT and says it was sold in the USA. Any help from members would be greatly appreciated, thank you in advance for your help.

You can flash any region firmware on the SM-G930F phone, try this one:

Thank you my friend, trying now.
I forgot to tell you that factory reset is required when switching from custom rom to stock rom so make sure you flash the non home CSC file and not the home_csc file.

Yes, it is in the download. When you download Samsung firmware from Sammobile or Updato website they come in a zipped file. You'll need to extract the zipped folder which will give you multiple files labelled AP, BL, CP, CSC and lastly HOME_CSC.
This is an example of what the files look like when the files are extracted from the downloaded firmware zip file:
http://prntscr.com/k07am0
The non_home csc file is used to tell the phone to wipe the user data on the phone when flashed, the home CSC is used if you don't want to wipe the user data on the phone when flashing firmware.

Hello again Benjamen50, it failed on the first try, do I need to check re-partition? or Nand Erase? What about a Pit file? sorry to keep bothering you but I appreciate your help.

If you are flashing Oreo firmware which is 8.0 you need to use Odin 3.13 or newer as the older Odin software does not support flashing Oreo firmware.
The only buttons you need to click are BL, AP, CP, CSC then start and nothing else.
The default check boxes under options tab will be auto reboot and f reset time. Others should be left untouched and not checked.
You'll need to reboot download mode again which can be done by holding the download mode keys until you get that blue screen again or that it says that something ran into a problem with the blue screen which allows flashing as well.

Hello again, well I thought it worked because I got a PASS in Odin however, when the phone boots, I get a Black screen saying Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge then it goes to a blue screen with the android logo and it says erasing at the bottom for a few seconds then the screen goes black. The phone still goes into download mode however, it will not go into recover mode. Before flashing this I could get into recovery mode but would see a custom page with loading and rebooting options. Am I missing the stock boot loader? So sorry to keep bothering you about this.
